    It’s also possible that people stop believing in the power of some arbitrary numbers and the shit obliterates itself.

    Not financial advice, but pretty solid theoretically.

      True. But often when you’re fleeing a war torn country you don’t have a lot of other options. Local currency is often outlawed or devalued. And if you only hold Bitcoin for the X weeks it takes to flee the country, the odds of it imploding in that time are pretty small. There’s more chance you’d lose the passphrase or lose the gold.
